It's Monday again and time for another Whoopsi Daisy challenge. This week we would like to see you use 'White On White' for your projects. Again this week the Daisy Divas have made some fantastic projects so do make sure you check out their blogs for inspiration.

Thankyou to all you wonderful crafters that made our Blog Hop challenge soooooo successful we loved seeing all your fantastic creations.Winners of Top 3 and Blog hop winner to be announced Tuesday.

STARTING IN JANUARY OUR CHALLENGE WILL BE FOR CRAFTERS USING OUR WHOOPSIDAISY IMAGES ONLY.

Today I have made another 'rocking' card and hopefully designed it a bit better than the first one I did!!!

To make this card I first used a teaplate as a template for the base card. Having cut this circle I did the same using a saucer. Once I had the two pieces I stuck the smaller one to the larger one. I then folded the circles in half to form the base card. (It is much easier if you fold it once the second layer is attached). This time I didn't cut the side steps either, much easier. I then went around the edge of the smaller circle with punched snowflakes and added some pearls. The sweet image has been coloured with promarkers, chalk, flock and glitter. I then cut and layered it using a nestie and sparkly card for the layer at the back. I then attached it to the middle of the card spine. Next I die-cut some poinsettias from glittery handmade paper and added clear gems. I then arranged them with some punched holly leaves. At this stage it was heavier on one side so to counter balance it I added a stamped sentiment edged with more punched snowflakes. Finally I added even more snowflakes to the image, also with clear gem centres. Finished at last so now why don't you have a go at making one for the challenge? Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

This time I have made an easel card using a lot of my favourite things. The colour pink, the image, digi papers, sparkly ribbon, gems and snowflakes. Oh, and not forgetting my promarkers, where would I be without those? Having coloured my image with promarkers I added flock and diamond glaze before layering it using nesties (another favourite). Behind the image I added a lace doily. The border strips have been punched and layered with paper and sparkly ribbons. The snowflakes are die-cut with brads in the centres. A few sparkly gems to finish. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I have made a little tag card using this gorgeous lantern digi stamp from Whoopsi Daisy. I have followed the great sketch using some of my favourite digi papers from Nitwit Collections and placing them grid style directly onto my base card. I then coloured the image with promarkers and glitter. I then cut around the image and layered it to make a tag before attaching to the card. The poinsettias are die-cut, as is the sentiment. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Here is another quick christmas card to add to the pile. This time I have followed the great sketch using this adorable image (one of my favourites this year). I have coloured the image with promarkers and cut and layered it with nesties. The border is simply punched and plain cardstock with glittery silver ribbon on top. A few snowflakes with gems and a sentiment finishes the card. Told you it was quick! Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

This week at Lili Of The Valley we would like to see you make a 'Christmas Card For Someone Special' be it mum, dad, brother, sister, friend or anyone else who is special to you.

I have made a quick and easy card from scraps of card for one of my friends. Starting with a white base card I added a gold layer followed by a music embossed white layer. Next I stamped the music sheet with grey ink and placed on top. I then cut a strip of swirl embossed white card and added some ribbon that I recycled from a gift, inked the edges and placed across the bottom of the card. The image has been coloured with promarkers and glitter. Having cut it out with nesties I then stamped the words onto it before layering with gold card also cut with nesties. A circular sentiment backed with gold card finishes the card. Told you it was quick, thanks for looking.

One of my work colleagues has just become a father for the first time so I have made this card for him using one of the new stamps from LOTV called 'All Our Dreams', which comes complete with the little sentiment. I have followed the great sketch using panels of cardstock covered with papers. The image has been coloured with promarkers and cut out and layered with a nestie label die. I used the same die to cut the sentiment tag and added a red bow. As the baby was born last week I have added some 'poppies'. The three heart buttons at the top finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Here is a little Christmas easel card I have made following the great sketch and using some of my favourite digi papers from Nitwit Collections. I have coloured the image with promarkers and layered it with nesties. Above the image I have attached a couple of pieces of stitched ribbon to which I have added some flowers. The flowers are punched, embossed and coloured with ink and I have added golden gems to the centres. The leaves are punched too. On the bottom I have cut and punched a strip of card and added some of the paper. The sentiment has been simply stamped and layered and I have added two heart buttons to finish it off. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

It's Monday again and time for another Whoopsi Daisy challenge. This week we would like to see you use 'The Colours Of Winter' on your projects. Great for all those lovely wintry Christmas cards especially as Christmas is just over five weeks away!!! Aaaargh! Who stole this year???

This week I have made a gatefold easel card for the first time. It didn't take too long to work out what to do but I will be the first to admit that it wouldn't stay shut until I added the ribbon. The main image, from Whoopsi Daisy, is made from two digi stamps and has been coloured with promarkers with flock added to their hats. I have used inks and glitter to distress the background in the hope that it looks like a winter's day. I then added a computer generated caption which I thought was rather apt. The sentiment at the bottom has been stamped and layered. All the leaves have been punched as has the flowers. I coloured the flowers with ink and added pearls to the centres. The snowflake brads have also had pearls added. Some pretty organza ribbon finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

I thought I would try making a different shaped card than I normally do. A friend showed me one of these and I think I would call it a 'step rocker card' for want of a better description. Having cut and folded the base card I then stamped it with dog related stamps. The main image I have used is from the new Lili Of The Valley stamps being released on 10th Nov and is called 'Buckets Of Love' and comes with the sentiment stamp of the same name. I have coloured the image with promarkers and highlighted the water with Diamond Glaze. A circular sentiment added to the step part finishes this simple card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Changes are afoot at the Whoopsi Daisy Challenge Blog!!! We are now going to have a TOP 3. The DT will choose the top 3 each week and not only do you get this fabulous banner to display on your blog but the number one winner will also get two digi sheets. However, to be eligible for the Top 3 you MUST use a Whoopsi Daisy image on your creation. Don't have an image to use for the challenge? You can pick up a gorgeous freebie here!The theme for this week's challenge is 'Tag It' so we would like to see lots of tags on your cards or perhaps some tags for your gifts etc. Can't wait to see what you create.

I have made a card in one of my favourite colour combos. I started by covering the base card with gorgeous digi paper from Nitwit Collections called 'Fairytale Dreams'. The image has been coloured with promarkers and lots of glitter. The borders have been punched and sparkly ribbon added to one. I made the tag using the same nestie label die I used for the image. I added a ribbon bow and some flowers. The roses have been coloured with a promarker and glittered. Another flower and punched leaves finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Exciting news! Nitwit Collections have just brought us another gorgeous Christmas collection. This one is called 'Polar Pals' and such cute pals they are too. Just click on the picture above to go and have a look at it, you won't be disappointed.

This week's challenge at Lili Of The Valley is the theme 'Bright & Sparkly' so we want you to get out all your glitter and bling for this one.

I have chosen to use one of my favourite colour combos of blue & lilac for this card so have started with a blue base card. To this I have added a lilac layer of cardstock. I then cut two triangles from this gorgeous digi paper from the 'Promises' kit at Nitwit Collections and attached them leaving a border between the two pieces. I then added some sparkly gems to the corners. I coloured the image (Fishing Buddies) with promarkers and lots of glitter before layering it using nesties and attaching with foam pads. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.Card Recipe

Here is my second sneaky peek of the 28 new stamps being released by Lili Of The Valley on the website on 10th November. However, if you are going to the NEC at the weekend you can grab them earlier!!! This gorgeous stamp is called 'Party Presents' and comes complete with the little Party Presents sentiment.

This time I have made a Christmas card for a child as I think they would love all these cute little mice wrapping their presents up. I have coloured the image with promarkers and lots of green glitter. These lovely bright papers are from the new 'Ho Ho Ho' collection at Nitwit collections. The little parcel has been recycled from an old card. Hope you like this one, thanks for looking.
